Now I am not proposing that I am a well-informed individual regarding the goings on in Ukraine, not at all. BUT.
President Trump comments on the Ukraine war: Trump says Ukraine 'should have never started it' in comments about war with Russia
"“You should have never started it,” Trump said of Ukraine while criticizing President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had expressed concern that his country was not included in talks between the U.S. and Russia in Saudi Arabia."
Talk about pressure, Volodymir Zelinski may just straight out have a heart attack over these Trumpian revelations. Or Trumps comments might just get Mr. Zelenski "neutralized" and eliminated from the equation? Politics truly is the dirtiest filthiest most deadly winner takes all game that human beings play.
Now if I remember correctly, it was Vladimir Putin, "threatened by NATO" who amassed about 190,000 troops on the border of Ukraine right around the time that Joe Biden (D) took over the presidency. Putin's timing is unquestionable regarding as to why and when he made his move on Ukraine. The weakness of Biden (D) and the radical Democrat Leftists that surrounded him was apparently precisely the key motivator in Mr. Putin's border ambitions. Putin is no fool. Justified or not, it is a long-standing complicated and highly contentious situation.
U.S. NEWS: "Russia had amassed up to 190,000 troops – according to reports from the U.S. – on Ukraine’s borders over the course of many months. The buildup of forces around Russia's neighbor and former Soviet Union state started in late 2021 and escalated in early 2022."
And now President Trump in very Trumpian fashion has turned the Ukraine / Russia table upside down in order to shake things up and make progress in coming to an amicable (?) settlement between the two parties. President Trump as we understand is a fully engaged transactional, results oriented individual. And I agree with the technique because it is effective in breaking down the unacceptable status quo model which needs to be razed in order to build what in your vision of the world needs to be built.
And when one man, one little man, "a comedian" stands in your way sometimes that one man needs to go away, it is a very Machiavellian calculation. It is a pure Strategy Over Morality move. And you can read and understand more about that here: WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON: STRATEGY OVER MORALITY.
BUT, I am not sure that just a pure transactional move in the long term is the correct call. It may be a short-term call, but is it really a long-term call? It is the E.U. that is in fact primarily existentially threatened by Putin's ambitions in Ukraine. And it is IMO the E.U. that should be made, forced even to bear the financial, manpower and war material, if necessary, burden.
But those embroiled in the E.U. model are all confused authoritarian Socialists consumed and worrying about controlling their captive associate countries free speech and every aspect of their existence to their E.U. Globalist specifications. What a pile of aspirational Globalist authoritarian Socialist crap!
Everyone always goes to the: "But Mr. Putin has threatened to use nukes!". Let him use them. I think that is a red herring and false proposition, Mr. Putin understands what the likely M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) result would be. That is not his ultimate goal. I do not think Mr. Putin unless threatened with an absolute existential threat on his borders is really considering such a move.
So, is Trump Trumping Trump? Trump wants it over, but I am not certain the quick way is the best way. Let's see where this all goes but right now, I would not want today to be in Mr. Zelenski's shoes.
Are you paying attention yet America? JGL 2/19/25
